Good Saturday morning to all eagle momsters amd dadsters pit there. Sure looks like there has been more work done on the nest. Belle and Shep sure have been busy. MT nest this am. Hopefully an egg will appear soon.

It was too dark to see when I first got on. Then when she started digging I could see that there wasn't an egg. I hear a lot of tapping...wondering if Shep is up by the camera. Maybe it's rain.

Sandi, we are going to meet an 11 month old lab rescue puppy today. I'm nervous. I have never gone the rescue/adoption route. I am worried about making a decision and hope I will "know" one way or the other when we meet her.

Dana, I'm going to go out on a limb and say congratulations on the new addition right now. I know another dog will be good for your heart. Will Boomer be going with you? If so, he'll make the decision for you. We weren't planning to adopt Ellie - Janey fell in love with her first and that was that! Good luck!

Yes, Boomer is going with us. It is a requirement. I can't believe how nervous I am. I hope I'm doing the right thing getting a second dog. I really hope we can handle 2 when we go camping and 3 if my mom moves in with her Old English Sheepdog. We have been having discussions about her moving into our house. She is so lonely at night and I'm home alone most of the time bc of Monte being in NY. It just seems to make sense. Say a prayer for us today!!

Danamo, so happy for the pup. Picture please. Colour, A Golden Lab? How old...How did she get along with your dog? Oh so many questions...Do post some pictures. I will go to your FB page and see if there are any overthere.Congratulations.

No egg yet. WIndy and rainy over there. You must know that as you are near the nest...

A black Lab. Beautiful she is Dana. So good that you got her. Amore sounds like a good name like someone suggested on your page...Congratulations. She is a very lucky dog. I hope she does not eat socks!!!

No eagle in the nest this morning. Thankfully we still have a nest! That wind was whipping around. They say we had 65 mile per hour gusts.

I think the puppy's name is going to be Jewel. It seems to be what we have settled on. I can't believe how hard it was to name her!! She slept like a baby and got up when I got up this morning. So far she is a perfect little girl.She does get on Boomer's nerves at times, but she is a puppy. I think (hope) this is normal. I'm sure Frisbee put Boomer and Java in their place when they were puppies.

Was hoping for some kind of delay...or power outage...oh well looks like I'm off to school today. LOL!

I'm thinking of going part time next year and picking up some more hours with Washington Co. I currently am one of their Home and Hospital teachers. I only have 1 student currently, but the demand seems high for teachers as they are always sending out cases. Something to consider for sure. I think it's going to depend on class size for next year. My class the past 2 years has been too large even with an aide. I have 25 and I just think it's too much.

Have a good day everyone. I will check in when I can. It's good to be back.

Sadly, the Hays nest in Pittsburgh, near my home town...the tree fell in the wind last night. Second egg was due any minute.

Dana, congrats on the new pup! I've spent a lot of time with my mentor learning and studying behavior so if there is anything I might help you with let me know. Be advised that this, the first 2 weeks, is the "honeymoon" phase. Once a dog becomes adjusted to the new home, behaviors can change...some for the worse! Like teenagers!

Sounds like you also have some career things to think about. Sounds like your gut already knows what you'll do....keep us posted.

I had a hard time getting on the Yahoo account because of the stupid hack stuff

Hopefully this will be the last of it

And on my tablet the link isntlisted on the blog page where Steve had it. But it is on my laptop. Odd huh on one device and not the other. Looks like the excitement is over for the evening. I'll check back in if somebody lands in the nest. I wonder if they miss something we don't know haha.

So so happy to see people coming back JO is smiling down on all of us

You know what really need JUDIE to climb up the tree like she said she used to and threaten them to give us an eggy

Yoda here...it has been a good day connecting with one another. Was Andy in danger because of the threat of the dam? Anyone know?Stay safe everyone.I am happy JudyE is posting.I have not heard from Judie, Judy.I sent a Christmas card but no response.Shirley is visiting her brother as per FBno one in the nest.

Both in nest. Kids are mesmerized. I'll have to keep it on all day if it stays this quiet in my classroom.I can never check the Yahoo page, I never use it and can never remember my password!!! Created it too many years ago.Maybe today....I hope.

Good morning Dana. One in nest. Not sure about your Yahoo problem. Paula let me back in when I deleted my original Yahoo Mail acvount that was getting spammed. Might be worth a try. Glad your adopted pet is doing well. Hope you and your class enjoy the Cam today..

Good Wednesday morning Jerry and Dana. Looks like Belle in nest this morning just looking around. She just turned and nibbled at the egg cup, but she has not snuggled down in it yet. She is facing the 4 o'clock position. Birds singing in the background. All is right with the world.

Hope someone can capture pix if we get a eggieI will have tablet but may miss in route to parking in car line Then to her house. I don't own a phone that goes on the internet! I do want to check into getting one. I use a track phone it's a flip phone lol

It looks like Beautiful Belle sitting in the windy nest... I hope she has an egg for Shep soon! Nice to see there is no snow around -- I have lived through 36"+ in the last two weeks (in Southern Maine). No snow = good egg weather!

They sort of did that yesterday LOLLY but Shep was on the cup for the longest time them Belle flew in and took over the cup and stayed on it for a bit. Who knows with these two?I guess we will know if she does a eggie roll

hope someone is watching and gets a pic of the eggie if we have one She does look comfy on the cup buried to her neck line you see no dark feathers on the front of her heading to get Jordyn hopfuly I will be able to pick up the wifi while sitting in carlineI usually I do Its part of our cable service with Bright house now Spectrum and they did keep the feature.

we have a cold front coming in again had one yesterday temp is 12-16 cooler than yesterday It was 79 yesterday but I think now 61

Lost wifi got back but gonna be heading to Angie work after I get JordynShe didn't go to work today because of her vertigo so I'm going to pick up a paycheck up for her so hopefully some of the watching if not we'll find out later if there's an egg or not an egg

No one home in the nest and no egg visible. We indeed had a lot of snow and it is all piled up anywhere and everywhere. Every parking lot has mountains of the stuff all around and some blocking spaces. At my office, there are piles at least 10 feet high. The same at home. We are not allowed to push any of it into the streets, so it has filled up my entire side yard and the plows now have to push it onto the front lawn. It is way higher than my mailbox post. The post is painted fuchsia, so at least I can find it!

SHEPHERDSTOWN EAGLE CAM

This blog chronicles the activities of the eagle nest located along the Potomac in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The nest has been active for nine seasons, fledging many juvenile bald eagles. A large, international community has developed as a result of this extraordinary pair of eagles.
